Error: Different character lengths in pointer assignment at (1)

Compiles with g95, ifort and nagf95.

This is not fixed with the patch for PR31266.  The remaining issue looks closely related to not using byte-sized strides in array descriptors.

this has become an ICE in the meanwhile

	PR fortran/29396
	PR fortran/29606
	PR fortran/30625
	PR fortran/30871
	* trans.h : Add extra argument to gfc_build_array_ref. Rename
	gfc_conv_aliased_arg to gfc_conv_subref_array_arg.  Move
	prototype of is_aliased_array to gfortran.h and rename it
	gfc_is_subref_array.  Add field span to lang_decl, add a new
	decl lang specific flag accessed by GFC_DECL_SUBREF_ARRAY_P
	and a new type flag GFC_DECL_SUBREF_ARRAY_P.
	* trans.c (gfc_build_array_ref): Add the new argument, decl.
	If this is a subreference array pointer, use the lang_decl
	field 'span' to calculate the offset in bytes and use pointer
	arithmetic to address the element.
	* trans-array.c (gfc_conv_scalarized_array_ref,
	gfc_conv_array_ref): Add the backend declaration as the third
	field, if it is likely to be a subreference array pointer.
	(gfc_conv_descriptor_dimension, gfc_trans_array_ctor_element,
	gfc_trans_array_constructor_element, structure_alloc_comps,
	gfc_conv_array_index_offset): For all other references to
	gfc_build_array_ref, set the third argument to NULL.
	(gfc_get_dataptr_offset): New function.
	(gfc_conv_expr_descriptor): If the rhs of a pointer assignment
	is a subreference array, then calculate the offset to the
	subreference of the first element and set the descriptor data
	pointer to this, using gfc_get_dataptr_offset.
	trans-expr.c (gfc_get_expr_charlen): Use the expression for the
	character length for a character subreference.
	(gfc_conv_substring, gfc_conv_subref_array_arg): Add NULL for
	third argument in call to gfc_build_array_ref.
	(gfc_conv_aliased_arg): Rename to gfc_conv_subref_array_arg.
	(is_aliased_array): Remove.
	(gfc_conv_function_call): Change reference to is_aliased_array
	to gfc_is_subref_array and reference to gfc_conv_aliased_arg to
	gfc_conv_subref_array_arg.
	(gfc_trans_pointer_assignment): Add the array element length to
	the lang_decl 'span' field.
	* gfortran.h : Add subref_array_pointer to symbol_attribute and
	add the prototype for gfc_is_subref_array.
	* trans-stmt.c : Add NULL for third argument in all references
	to gfc_build_array_ref.
	* expr.c (gfc_is_subref_array): Renamed is_aliased_array.
	If this is a subreference array pointer, return true.
	(gfc_check_pointer_assign): If the rhs is a subreference array,
	set the lhs subreference_array_pointer attribute.
	* trans-decl.c (gfc_get_symbol_decl): Allocate the lang_decl
	field if the symbol is a subreference array pointer and set an
	initial value of zero for the 'span' field.
	* trans-io.c (set_internal_unit): Refer to is_subref_array and
	gfc_conv_subref_array_arg.
	(nml_get_addr_expr): Add NULL third argument to
	gfc_build_array_ref. 
	(gfc_trans_transfer): Use the scalarizer for a subreference
	array.
